‎MERSEY ROVERS: THE COASTAL TRAMP SHIP OWNERS OF LIVERPOOL AND THE MERSEY.‎

‎Gravesend Kent: World Ship Society 1997. 344 pp large 8vo 9 7/8" H. Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs b&w profiles on endpapers colour reproductions of flags & funnels. "In 'Mersey Rovers' will be found many of the owners of bulk-carrying steam and motor coasters which were primarily engaged in for want of a better word the tramp trades. All began their shipowning careers at Liverpool or another Mersey port; several migrating from Wales to do this others succumbing to the lure of Liverpool after a successful start at a minor port on the Mersey. Several important Liverpool owners covered in past or planned World Ship Society publications have been omitted including the Coe Kennaugh Monks and Monroe families. Also left out are owners of craft engaged largely in regular liner services and in river and estuarial trades. As the inclusions and exclusions are likely to become confusing all the local coastal shipowners of significance have been listed in the Miscellany section. The emphasis in this book is on steam and motor coasters and for reasons explained in 'Cambrian Coasters' sailing ships will not be found in the fleet lists although some are referred to in the histories. I have attempted to examine common strands in the histories of Mersey coasters and their owners and the Introductory Survey aims to place the ports trades owners and ships of the river in an historical and geographical context. Writing this I have tried to answer the question 'Why did the Mersey become such a centre for coastal shipowning'." From the Foreword. Light waviness to edges of text block book is lightly cocked slight wrinkle at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds some light wrinkling at top edge. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. World Ship Society Hardcover‎

NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 398pp. Hardback with DJ. "Killing Dragons" is an engrossing series of portraits of men and mountains woven into a chronology of alpine exploration that spans 150 years. The bulk of the narrative focuses on two big suggestive mountains - Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn - and their two principal suitors: de Saussure and Whymper. But there are delightful side roles for a whole throng of colourful characters such as Bourrit Forbes Tyndall Ruskin Stephen and Coolidge. Ultimately it's also a story about how surprisingly quickly and drastically man's relationship to nature can change: in barely two centuries the general mood regarding the mountain world switched from superstitious awe to scientific interest to exploratory zeal to nationalist competition to ultimately solipsistic thrill-seeking which is still the dominant ethos today. Fergus Fleming is a masterful storyteller with a penchant for tongue-in-cheeck humour quirky details and the burlesque. In one or two cases it's even over the top as when he inserts a footnote with a deadpan comment of Edward Whymper on the ubiquity of "cr�tins" deformed mentally handicapped people and goitre sufferers in rural Alpine communities: "Let them be formed into regiments by themselves brigaded together and commanded by cretins. Think what esprit de corps they would have! Who could stand against them Who would understand their tactics" An example of a more successful gag comes when Fleming comments on the death of Coolidge who after the demise of his beloved aunt Meta Brevoort withdrew and became and quarrelsome exasperatingly punctilious Alpine historian. Fleming: "An imp of perversity was loose in Grindelwald that season - either that or the Swiss possessed a keener sense of humour than they were normally credited with - for the great pedant was given an exquisitely apt send-off. The 'Echo of Grindelwald" misspelled his name in its official notice the authorities put the wrong age on his headstone and the carver missed out the the 'u' in 'mountains'." The book is full of these kinds of hilarious observations. Incidentally Fleming himself may have something of Coolidge's pedantry as he is remarkably scrupulous about spelling of French and Germain toponyms throughout the book. On the whole Fleming does an admirable job in weaving the locales the societal trends the climbing epics the individual characters and their relationships and rivalries into a rich tapestry. My only complaint is that this book refers only in passing to and omits a more extensive discussion on Albert Mummery an important and colourful character who heralded a new era in mountaineering. His remarkable ascents on the great Alpine peaks Zmutt ridge on the Matterhorn amongst many others and his fantastic daring to be the very first to attack a Himalayan 8.000 meter peak already in 1895! would have been a more fitting and logical conclusion to this very British epic than the unsavoury story of the German siege on the north face of the Eiger.

Too often small Canadiens were being battered against the boards and checked out of action. In 1963 that problem was solved and a big part of the solutions was John Ferguson. Chosen out of the American Hockey Leauge by Frank Selke Ferguson showed up in training camp with a reputation as a good hockey player and one who hadn't lost a fight in the AHL. He lived up to his reputation during his first game in Boston. At the opening faceoff he got into a fight with Ted Green which he won. Not only that Ferguson proceeded to score twice in that game which ended in a 4-4 tie. John Ferguson played for the Canadiens for eight years until he retired in 1971. During those years he shared in five Stanley Cups played five hundred games scored 145 goals and 158 assists and spent 1214 minutes in the penalty box. An extremely aggressive forward he acted as the club's policeman and extended his dislike of opposing players off the ice. Ferguson retired from the Canadiens in 1971 to begin a new career as a businessman. He came back to hockey as Coach and General Manager of the New York Rangers in 1976 then as General Manager of the Winnipeg Jets and finally as General Manager of Team Canada. Having retired once more from hockey he will dedicate himself to his second great sporting love as President of The Windsor Raceway."
